I'm coming back to X3 Reunion after a couple of years doing other things. I'm finding now I:

1. Have no voice acting sounds at all. No station announcements, no dialogue with NPC's, nothing. Voice is ok in video clips
2. Have to SETA time acceleration function, although it is installed in the ship.
3. Cannot complete the docking sequence under autopilot. It will drive me up to the docking arm, the arm comes down but I never get the "Successful Docked" voice or subtitle.

This is a Steam purchase running under Win 10 64 bit.

I have tried all the compatibility options from Win XP SP 2 through Win 8; no help.

I have read and applied the file in the Win 10 Compatibility thread here; no help.

I have un/re-installed numerous times, deleting the directory each time and reinstalling on a different HD. No help.

I merged your two DxDiag posts. Please use consecutive posts in the same thread and not two separate threads thanks. Actually the DxDiag looks pretty good.

Your point 3 issue, (not docking quickly) is a known issue when you are in the ship (use a docking computer instead or request station permission to dock beforehand in that case) or are just IS watching another of your ships dock (use SETA - I know yours doesn't work just now though - or try comming the station to speed things up a bit; the ship will in any case keep inching minutely towards the docking arm but very, very slowly.)

As far as SETA not working, check that you are using the correct key for it in Options, Controls and that you have not also mapped that key to some other function as well (which could well immediately switch SETA off again). If that doesn't help try lowering your SETA rate if you have it set high such as at x10.

One of your X3:R issues is reported as Event Name: PCA2. That is a program/OS compatibility issue so I suggest that you reset compatibility mode to Win10 default as you should not need anything beyond that to run X3:R with Win10. (I didn't.) As you are having the same issues with all of your X3 games, it is most likely to be a system set-up/settings or driver issue.

You do have 3 different sound devices and drivers all running at the same time. I would disable what you do not use in Device Manager, Sound/Audio Devices (right-click on a device for an enable/disable pop-up). See if that helps with your game sounds issue.

Did some more research. Solved the voice acting issue. It was a conflict with my headset.

Still no SETA. It appears the multiple buttons/switches on my Siatek X56 Rhino set of controllers has too many selections and is sending signals to the game all the time, confusing it. Trying to activate SETA results in an engage/disengage loop. This give the sound but no resulting time compression. There is no fix I know of.

Docking still doesn't work with either the Shift - D command or just using <u>. I'm forced to stop short and <c> request to dock and drive to the green light. It works fine that way and isn't a game breaker for me.

The lack of SETA makes it just too much of a grind getting across a sector, etc. Can someone look at this for a patch?

There is nothing to patch. About the only person without SETA is yourself. You now know the actual issue with it if you know that your stick is sending continuous flight control inputs. That is wrong and is what you need to eliminate using your stick control panel and options and by calibrating it and setting up deadzones etc. I don't know if this FAQ may assist. I suspect that this is perhaps what is messing with your docking commands as well.

Ok, here's the fix for the SETA and docking issues. This is based on information derived from the FAQ you reference, several other posts at various places in this forum and from a FAQ at the Saitek support page.

This applies to the Saitek X-56 Rhino flight stick as used in X3: Reunion. Haven't tested it in TC or AP but have no doubt it will work.

Background from Saitek:

The calibration and test page for the flight stick shows button 15 continuously illuminated. There is no button 15 on the stick. Saitek support FAQ says this is normal as that is a communication channel between the throttle and the stick and is always active.

The Fix:

Open Steam. Select X3: Reunion from list of games. Right click on the game, select Properties, and select Launch Options. In Launch Option box type: -ignorejoy 15. Problems with SETA and Docking solved.

PS: Confirmed fix works in both TC and AP. No more twitchy keyboard, SETA problems or docking issues. All works fine (for me).

I hope this helps someone else.
